Frank Larkin is a former Navy SEAL and so was his son Ryan, who died by suicide in 2017. As part of his commitment to the Warrior Call initiative, Larkin says he wants to educate people about undiagnosed physical injuries to the brain that warriors may suffer during their service, as with Ryan, that can spark a downward spiral.

Larkin has served as a Navy SEAL, as a Maryland State Trooper-Flight Paramedic, as a special agent for 21 years in the U.S. Secret Service rising to deputy assistant director and chief technology officer, and for nearly four years as the U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms. He also served as a senior leader in the Department of Defense's Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, the combat support agency tasked with countering IED's and extremist organizations employing them against U.S. forces, and in senior positions at Raytheon Corp., Lockheed Martin Corp. and SAP National Security Services. He volunteers as a firefighter-paramedic with the Annapolis, Maryland, Fire Department.

About the Warrior Call organization:

WHO IS WARRIOR CALL:

We are a network of former active-duty service members and veterans, their friends and families whose aim is to save lives and curtail suicides among those who served the nation

WHAT WE DO:

We spur greater connection. We make calls to warriors -- to veterans and service members who may be isolated and disconnected from services. We steer them to services. We encourage all Americans to make these warrior calls. Together, we save lives.

WHY WARRIOR CALL IS ESSENTIAL:

Many of those who are suffering are not seeking help or treatment, thus reinforcing the need for a call to these warriors from a former battle buddy, friend or family member.

Up to two-thirds of veterans who take their own lives have had no contact with the Department of Veterans Affairs. 


The COVID pandemic has only increased isolation and disconnection. 


According to the VA, researchers have identified social isolation as "arguably the strongest and most reliable predictor of suicidal ideation, [suicide] attempts and lethal suicidal behavior." 


Invisible wounds linked to an underlying and undiagnosed traumatic brain injury can mirror many mental health conditions, underscoring the need to connect with service members and veterans and steer them to services. 
The rapid unraveling of Afghanistan has spurred anguish and frustration among those who served there.

HOW YOU CAN HELP – MAKE A WARRIOR CALL:

Whether you are a veteran, active-duty service member, national guard, family member or friend, you can make a difference by connecting with someone who is wearing or who has worn the uniform. Connecting can facilitate honest dialogue, create a desire to stay in contact and help define a viable path forward.

Here’s what to do:

1) Make a call and connection to a warrior.


2) Have an honest conversation. See how they are doing.


3) Connect them with Vets4Warriors, a clearinghouse for resources. Their contact information is 1-855-838- 8255 and www.vets4warriors.com

Make sure to check out my new Simple Life University Course - How to Organize Your Life: https://thesimplelifenow.com/course/how-to-organize-your-life/

The National Association of Professional Organizers did a large study that showed that in the United States, 54% of Americans feel overwhelmed by clutter and that 78% have no clue what to do with all their junk.

 

Having a cluttered home and a disorganized lifestyle impacts your mental health, physical well-being, and drains your finances.

 

It will amaze you the stories I’ve heard from people who lived messy, disorganized lives who changed completely for the better because they built better habits and easier methods of handling and figuring out what to do with their personal belongings.

 

I cannot stress this enough, as someone that lived the 9-5 rat race lifestyle and was a slave to material things, I understand completely what it is like to feel like your stuff owns you.

 

You don’t have to struggle though, you can organize more than just your things, you can organize your life.

Make sure to check out my book and learn how to do more with less: The Simple Life Guide to Decluttering Your Life

https://thesimplelifenow.com/product/guide-to-decluttering-your-life-softcover/

Yes, we live in a crazy world today, but are we self-inflicting a lot of our own pain? I would say 100% yes! I always say: "focus on the things you can change and ignore the rest." But a lot of people today don't know what to truly focus on to make their life simpler and better.

Instead of focusing on what is really important in our life, we focus on the periphery that, in most cases, has nothing to do with us. We get sucked into the vortex of more is better, more noise and people complaining, another pair of shoes, another nic-nac, another car we can't afford... it just goes on and on and on.

So what is the answer? Today I will dig into how to gain freedom by eliminating the things that are not important. Remember, we are only here for a limited time, so make the best of it.

Topics Discussed:

* My simple yet effective morning routine to decompress.

* Are you less free or only more confined by your voluntary behavior.

* How to be truly free in a world of chaos and strife.

* How to focus on the things that are important and ignore the rest.

* Why decluttering your mind is the key to sanity and freedom.

* A simple way to get started.

* Why most people have no clue what individual freedom truly is.

* What is free will and why there seems to be a war against it.

* Being a contrarian - when everyone is zigging you zag.

Sounds strange, right? But today, everything is backward, and in order to move forward, you need to reverse your thought process in life. The contrarian is considered the oddball, but that oddball is, in most cases, doing things right. So why not be on oddball? Who cares what people are saying around you? Most of them weigh 250 plus pounds, are flat broke, and miserable. This is a time when following the herd will take you straight off the cliff with them. Because they are blind to the real world, they have no idea the cliff is coming, and because of the way they are living their conformist life, that cliff is inevitable. Simply don't go off the cliff!

About Myles in his own words: I was born and raised in Adelaide, Australia. Adelaide was a wonderful place. Clean, great community, great weather, great food. I mean the idyllic location. My parents were not wealthy, but nor were they poor. My father worked all of his life for the same company. My mother was a stay-at-home parent. My parents owned their own home and paid it off. They struggled financially but were able to put me through private school. I was an only child – I guess I didn’t have to share their focus with another, so I got lucky.

I had always been interested in technology from a young age. I was such an avid learner that I would go to great extremes to seek out things and get involved in clubs, community groups, etc. I rode my bike everywhere – even for hours to the city’s center to spend my Sunday afternoons in the public library. Soaking up every bit of knowledge I could get. Strange things that people often didn’t pay attention to. But I did.

One day I got exposed to CB Radios. This was in the 1970s. I became obsessed (as I often did with things). I learned about electronics, physics, communications, etc. This led me towards computers, and eventually, I bought one of the first personal computers – in 1978, the TRS-80 Model 1 computer. I learned everything about programming that computer, and it became everything to me. As the computer industry evolved, so did I. I started a software company and became one of the few experts in software development in Adelaide – getting gigs to write software for government departments, big corporations, etc., and I was still not even 20 years old. My passion for technology was matched with a business passion, which started well before I discovered technology. I guess business was in my DNA.

In 1989, I moved to the United States, settling in Los Angeles. I realized that the ability to migrate from one place to another was a life-changing experience. It taught me to embrace everything I found within my grasp, learning about business in the USA, I got involved in the music industry, and I was able to leverage my computer programming experience to land work in some early startups – one of which became Amgen, the world’s largest biotechnology corporation. Although I spent much of the next 30 years living in the USA, I never lost touch with my home of Australia, and in the late 1990s moved back there for many years before returning to the USA. In 2002 I moved to Scottsdale, Arizona, and I’ve lived here since.

I am a self-made business owner. I don’t have a job. I do have clients and I do work on software projects and data centers, etc. today. It is because this is what I love to do. It isn’t because this is my career. I’ve never embraced that concept. I think if you are blessed to find your calling early in life and you can turn that into an income earner, you will embrace that far more than a defined “career” that people have to convince themselves that they love to do. I got lucky in that regard. But it was more that at a young age I was passionate to learn things. I still am. I just can’t learn them in a classroom, or a lecture hall, or books. I have to go out and see things with my own eyes and touch things with my own hands.

In the words of that great hairband, Whitesnake, "Here we go again." When it comes to The 2nd Amendment and gun control, well, it is a bit polarizing to say the least. Most, may not know this, but I have been around firearms since age 7 to include 20 years in the military and law enforcement. Before some of you call me a racist and gun-toting redneck, hold on a second, you may be a little surprised by my position on the subject.

I firmly believe, we need to have a rational conversation on the subject that makes sense to most. You can never satisfy everyone, so "most" is the closest you are going to get on any subject, let alone gun control.

Today, I give you my common-sense solution to the problem that I think most could understand and get behind. I'm tired of insider trading politicians and purple-haired nut jobs telling the rest of us how it should be. Interestingly, the people who have the least experience on the subject seem to scream the loudest.

So let's cut the noise and get down to the facts that make sense to the people who actually live in reality. I know a crazy idea these days, but I think it is important, as we will never solve the problem by two sides pushing extreme views on the subject.

Topics Discussed:

* A little perspective from me having over 4 decades of experience with firearms.

* What is the gun debate really about?

* Will banning guns lower violence rates?

* Why we have a mental illness and family breakdown problem in this country.

* Just because you are 18 and the military doesn’t mean you have 24 hour access to weapons.

* Why those the most responsible for your freedom and safety have by far the most training with firearms.

* Would the world end if an 18 year old had to wait a couple years to purchase a few select firearms.

* Why 9mm round doesn’t blow your lungs out - stupid people say stupid things.

* Whether you like it or not the 2nd Amendment protects you against a tyrannical government, just read some history.

* Why I believe firearms training for everyone is important.

There is no free lunch in this world, especially when it involves the government. Today, we have yet another financial crisis looming: outstanding college loan debt, which is estimated to be in the range of 1.8 trillion. I have a little experience in this area as I have three degrees, which I paid for the most part on my own, and I had this crazy thing called a job while enrolled in classes for all three. In addition, I was a college professor for a while at a private institution. So I have seen and been involved in this debacle from both sides of the fence.

You may ask yourself, what does this have to do with you? Well, at this moment we are experiencing record-high inflation and government debt, which I will tell you is not a good combination. By bailing out people, who lack the ability to think and plan properly, then rack up endless student loan debt is not going to help. Matter of fact, that will pump more funny money into the economy, thus causing more inflation. And you should also ask, why should you be responsible for someone's college loan debt? That is a very important question to ask, I believe.

Today, Rob Kendall and I (who also paid his own way through college) discuss what this is all about. Not only that, we give solutions, especially for those who want to go to college, but do it responsibly without racking up life burdening debt.

The key is to make the right financial moves, and ignore most of the advice the financial institutions and federal government are telling us, as they do not have your best interests at heart.

Rob Kendall is the co-host of the Kendall and Casey Show heard 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST on 93.1 WIBC Radio, Indianapolis. Prior to joining WIBC, Rob served as an elected official for the Town of Brownsburg, where he proudly claims massive tax cuts and government reform as his greatest accomplishments.

Topics Discussed:

* How bad really is the student loan crisis.

* How will a bailout of student loans affect you.

* Is this just a way to buy votes instead of taking care of the problem?

* Why you are the one responsible for your debts not the taxpayer and definitely not the government.

* How did the federal government cause college education tuition to skyrocket.

* Why everyone does not need to go to college.

* Why college should never be free.

* How to go to college responsibility and without racking up student loan debt.

Today, I bring back to the show oil expert Bill Herrick to bring us up to date on why gas prices are so damn high, and going higher! Bill will also tell us where gas prices are expected to go in the near and not so near future. Is there hope for $2.50 a gallon gas again? What can we do about these high prices, and should you start looking for a really cool ten-speed bike to get your ass to work!

We are hearing a lot about what is causing sky-high oil and gas prices; Putin, Covid, your cat... but what is really the truth? Politicians and media pundits have gone from Covid experts to oil experts. Hey, just go out and buy a $60,000 (that is a cheap one) electric car, they say. They are full of a lot of things, but mainly bullsh*t! Today, I do this crazy thing and bring on an actual expert in the oil and gas industry, as in he actually works in it. I know a foreign concept these days. We get to the bottom of the high price of oil and gas today, exploration, production, and dispel all the false information being floated around by people who don't know their head from you know what.

Topics Discussed:

* Why does gas cost so damn much!

* Who is to blame for high gas prices?

* Why this administration is making the problem worse instead of better.

* Why the midterms elections will not fix this problem.

* Where are gas prices going in the near future?

* How you should be preparing for increased inflation?

* Why inflation numbers are much higher than you think.

* Why some parts of country are going to experience brown and black outs this summer.

* Why the cost of energy controls many things you do in life.

* Why does diesel cost so much more than regular gas today.

Today, I will share with you the methods to make better and more informed decisions in life. I guarantee the simplicity in the process will amaze you.

I often get asked how in the world I'm able to make difficult decisions to guide my life in the right direction. Trust me, I'm no genius or have super Simple Life powers to help me accomplish this. The most critical element in order to help guide me in my life is gathering and processing information. Most importantly, by not doing it with Google searches or the internet, but with real-life experiences on a daily basis.

I was recently having a conversation with a friend of mine, and told him how I had gathered a bunch of life intelligence during my day before we met for lunch. A funny look came over his face, and he said you need to share that. He said, “most people just don't think that way”. I had no idea it was a unique way to gather information, so yes, I realized I needed to do an episode on it. I sometimes forget being a former criminal investigator, I look at and gather information differently than most people, well, because it was my job, and I did it for a long time. The best way to put it, is these traits are ingrained in me, and most of the time, I don't even know I'm doing it.

Topics Discussed:

* Why all the information you need to make better life decisions is right in front of you.

* How to get information from people without them even knowing what you are doing.

* How everyday life is loaded with information to make your life better, you just need to know where to look.

* How to ask the right questions to get the answers you are looking for.

* Why you should always have situational awareness.

* Where you should not be getting your information from.

* How to take this information and apply it to your life.

* Why interactions with real people is key.

Welcome to another episode of "Ask Gary Anything." This is where you, the audience, get to send in your questions about anything, and I will answer them. That is right, you heard it... anything, because that is how I roll! On a fairly regular basis I pick questions sent to me from my ever growing list, and answer them on this podcast.

If you want to have your question(s) considered, simply fill out the contact form on my website www.thesimplelifenow.com, or better yet become a member of "The Simple Life Insider's Circle" link is at the bottom of the show notes. Today, we have some great questions:

1. (Geoff S) Do you have a bug out plan, and if so what do you think are the essential considerations /components? If not, why not?

2. (Kristy P) Do you or any of your friends suffer from tinnitus? If so, how do you cope? (I know this is a common ailment for veterans. Other than white noise, which isn’t always feasible, none of the DIY solutions seem to work. I have tried limiting salt/caffeine, supplements, acupuncture, and a hearing aid (for a trial period of 3 months). Therapy is expensive and not covered by insurance.)

3. (Ben L) What are your thoughts on liability waivers for events on private property?

Details:

Often in the permaculture movement, land owners host workshops that invite people they don't personally know and require visitors to sign waivers.

Do you recommend any templates or key points to include in drafting such a document, assuming you'd want a final review/edit by a legal professional?
